The Gardens Of Egrrt.

At the beginning of March the gardens
of Egypt are really wonderful; the orange
and lemon trees spread their most punsent
odor; the rose trees are covered with in
Vulnerable flowers; the palms, with their
green and white crowns, swing there in
the wind; the oleandcrs there border the
avenues; on the lawns, anemones, annual
and perpetual Towering pinks, chrys-
anlhemuns, violets, Zinnias, periwinkles,
snap-dragons, miguonette, pdnsles, and
petunias blend their innumerable colors

crowned with an immense plume of pretty
little trembling leaves One comprehends

stand why the EgYp ians neglect to plant
1t along the canal and on every cultivated
land, where it grows SO well. But what
gives, at least during winter and spFiug,
the most smiling aspect to the Egyptian
gardens are the great sheets of rose bsua
